Let's be clear about this:
The Republican administration's clear, stated intention is to provoke ordinary citizens into violent retaliation against Federal agents. This will validate their rhetoric about "violent antifa terrorists" and justify further Federal assaults on state freedoms, up to and including the imposition of martial law.
How many Federal ICE Agents have been killed by protestors? How many protestors have been killed by Federal ICE Agents? That should tell you who wants more dead bodies.
